damage

It's been a while since I been in Manzanillo, Col. (México) for diving (3 years) and apparently it was the worst time of year to dive.
Saturday viz was about 3ft in Juluapan, but the water was very warm 89ºf (32ºC) skipper said there was high tide, and 3 days ago viz was 30ft +
(bad timming) Yatch Club beach, was ok viz 9feet a lot of life, including many schools of fishes. No conditions to do night dive
Sunday my 50th dive!!! the zipper of my wet suit flew away (I sense a disturbance in the force); viz in Yatch Club beach dropped to 6feet, still warm water and lots of animals; Next new place: La escondida , shallow diving to expect better viz but....5 feet tops, lots of currents kind of demanding dive, but a lot to see, rock fish, eels, stone fishes... I manage to get a couple of good pictures.
Not the best travel I've made, I had amazing dives in Manzanillo, but no today...
But some good things came out of this: First my dive #50 in the same place where I got certified.
Second: My friend's girlfriend become a diver
... and finally, a chance to relax, enjoy the beach, meet new people and see familiar faces that haven't seen in a while, be with good friends and charge the batteries to continue until the next time.
But Some wise man once said: a bad diving day is better than a good day at work
I couldn't agree more...
